Not sure about this one at all! Maybe not even Geometridae. Found in southern Catalonia, Spain, at about 450 metres in October this year. Any advice welcome! Apologies for poor photograph.

Ciao matthew, benvenuto nel forum Entomologi Italiani Certamente si tratta di un Geometridae, Sottofamiglia Larentiinae e direi genere Xanthorhoe sp., difficile, almeno per me andare oltre sulla base di questa foto  Hello Matthew, welcome to the forum Entomologists Italian  Certainly this is a Geometridae, Subfamily Larentiinae and I would say genus Xanthorhoe sp., difficult, at least for me, to go further on the basis of this photo Forgive my English translated with an online software

Dear Claudio, thank you for the warm welcome - your English is great! It is me who should be embarrassed for not speaking Italian! I shall post some other mystery moths shortly. Best wishes from grey and rainy London, Matthew. |

Hi Matthew  I'd say Larentia malvata (Rambur 1833), Geometridae, mainly because of the shape ("high" and square) of its forewing, but also for its pattern, with that layout of whitish spots quite uncommon in this family. But I've no direct experience about this very variable species, so I can be wrong...

I would say that Paolo is right. Even by not sure, I'd say it's more likely that this is Larentia malvata (Rambur, 1833) |
